The RAFBBA Coaching and Officials Courses
Qualified COACHES and qualified REFEREES and TABLE OFFICIALS are essential for the game to be played at any level, including within the RAF. Not only does the RAF train its representative players but it will assist players or anybody who is interested, financially if required, in undertaking recognised officials and coaching qualifications. Not only is this another way of representing your Service but the qualification allows referees and table officials to earn money working in local basketball leagues.
Recent coaching and referees courses have been run within the RAFBBA but the association may provide financial assistance to those wishing to attend local courses. For more information on any courses, contact the Gen Sec – Sqn Ldr Simon Twigger rafbasketball@hotmail.co.uk
